Delta expands transatlantic routes for record-breaking summer schedule

Amsterdam remains a significant market for Delta's transatlantic operations. The airline plans nearly 500 flights there next month with a total of 142,796 seats available. Besides its primary hubs in Atlanta, Minneapolis-Saint Paul, and Detroit; Boston; New York JFK; Seattle; Salt Lake City also serve Amsterdam.

Despite strong demand for Amsterdam routes overall seat count has decreased by 1.3% compared to June last year due mainly to ending Portland–Amsterdam service now managed by KLM under joint venture realignment efforts aimed at optimizing aircraft rotation schedules.

Delta extended Tampa–Amsterdam route into year-round service offering four weekly departures during June on Mondays Wednesdays Thursdays Saturdays originally launched as seasonal summer-only pre-pandemic later suspended then reinstated early last year winter-only until May end but now continues through summer beyond

Overall transatlantic capacity increased this June versus last year's same period showing an additional growth rate reflected both flight numbers up by over four percent alongside six-point-one percent rise across available seating representing added departure opportunities totaling more than forty-two thousand eight hundred extra places offered across Atlantic crossings
